What’s up, Doc...It’s Bugs Bunny

THIS giant creepy-crawly is so huge it can eat a carrot out of your hand.

Luckily the grasshopper-like bugs, called giant weta, live a long way away – on a small island off New Zealand.

They were wiped out on the mainland by rats accidentally introduced by Europeans.

Former US park ranger Mark Moffett discovered this seven-inch female on a trip to Little Barrier Island.

Mark, 53, from Colorado, said: “The giant weta is the largest insect in the world and this is the biggest one ever found. She weighs the equivalent of three mice.

“Three of us walked the island for two nights scanning the vegetation before we saw her in a tree. She enjoyed the carrot but this is an extremely endangered species and we didn’t want to risk indigestion so after I took this picture we put her back.”
